Dallas packed her suitcaseAnd drove off in the brand new car I bought herShe made leaving me look easyI wish she'd made it look a little harder

I took her out of TexasWhen she was just a girlBut old Tennessee and meCouldn't take Texas out of her

Oh how I wish Dallas was in TennesseeIf I could move Texas eastThen she'd be here with meThen nothin' else would come between the two of usIf Dallas was in Tennessee

By now she's leaving MemphisAnd everything we had behind herLord I hope the gold band on her handWill serve as a reminderThat true love is a treasureThat's very seldom foundBut you can't stay together if there's no common ground

Oh how I wish Dallas was in TennesseeIf I could move Texas eastThen she'd be here with meThen nothin' else would come between the two of usIf Dallas was in TennesseeOh if Dallas was in Tennessee

Dallas packed her suitcaseAnd drove off in the brand new car I bought her
